Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Additional Each Way Places

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the highlight of the National Hunt season and is eagerly anticipated as the highlight of the Cheltenham Festival.

The 2024 Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday at Cheltenham is expected to see an unusually large field and that will ensure that a number of online bookmakers will offer 4 places each way and potentially even 5 places each way at the Cheltenham showpiece race.

Despite relatively small fields, a number of online bookmakers are always looking to give their customers value, so more additional each way spots are certainly not out of the question in 2024. So 4 places each way or potentially even 5 places at the 2024 Cheltenham Gold Cup is a distinct possibility as bookmakers look to offer maximum profit opportunity for their customers. It’s certainly a promotion which will drive 2024 Cheltenham Festival new customer numbers for savvy bookmakers.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeple Chase is the Blue Riband race of the National Hunt season. Field sizes have varied from 16 in 2009 and 2015, to just 9 in 2016. But more recently 13 runners (2017) 15 runners (2018), 16 runners (2019), 12 runners (2020) and 12 (2021) has turned this championship into a real each-way race for punters, which creates an opportunity. The Jockey Club in 2013 stated that in handicap races with more than 16 runners each way terms should be 1/4 odds on places 1-2-3-4. The Gold Cup is no Handicap, BUT for championship races the online bookmakers also tend to use the Jockey Club rule as a guideline. So although nothing is confirmed – as yet – for the 2024 running expect bookmakers to offer 4 places each way and selectively 5 places each way on the Cheltenham Gold Cup. 2019 saw Coral and Paddy Power offer-up 5 places each-way at 1/5 odds for Gold Cup punters, with Skybet offering 5 places at 1/5 terms in 2021.

With anything as low as 9 runners across recent renewals, online bookmakers payout the standard 3 places each way at 1/4 odds and more commonly 1/5 odds . However the Gold Cup is so popular with punters desperate for a serious bet, that a growing number of bookmakers over recent seasons have promoted an additional place or potentially two, with 4 or even 5 places at the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Naturally 4 places covers circa 25% of the field – a situation which can only drive the chances of profit.

At the time of writing, no bookmakers have extended beyond the standard 3 places each way terms. As soon as this changes we’ll confirm details here.

We track the value dished out by online bookmakers across the major National Hunt races. Extended each way terms gives punters a huge boost in terms of profit potential and is the perfect promotion for those who love to back big priced long shots. With some High Street bookmakers still categorically giving their customers the standard each way terms, savvy online punters have been using online bookmakers who have been offering far better value to their customers now for years.

The 2017 renewal of the Cheltenham Gold Cup saw 13 starters go to post and the most recent renewals has seen 15 (2018), 16 (2019), 12 (2020) and 12 (2021) runners. That makes it a great betting race and therefore there is an increasing number of extended each way places on offer.
